All, I have a subversion repository with the usual structure svn-repo | +-branches +-release1 +-release2 +-tags +-r1dev +-r1test +-r2dev +-r2test +-trunk that I want to migrate to git. I cloned the svn repo with git svn clone --no-metadata -t tags -b branches -T trunk <repo-url> I used the example in the Pro Git book. the cloned repo has files git-repo/.git/refs/heads/master git-repo/.git/refs/remotes/trunk directory git-repo/.git/refs/tags is empty. Directories git-repo/.git/logs/... have files corresponding to the branches and tags, but they do not appear to reference git objects. There are unhandled.log.gz files in the .git/svn directory for each branch and tag. If I do a git branch -r the branches and tags show up as remote branches. gitk appears to show all of the commits, but I do not see any of the branches and tags. I would like to make the branches and tags to appear al local to git repo. Is there a way to do this? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
